[Coco] Virtual CoCoFEST! On CoCoTALK! Saturday April 18th @ 2:00 PM EDT

[Dave Philipsen]

Just FYI,  Zoom has implemented new measures whereby you can choose to 
block it from using any of the servers they use to route your meeting 
through. If you want, you could block everything outside of the US. They 
have implemented lots of new stuff in response to security concerns.
